I hated the headlights too when I first saw the new X3 photos, but they have actually slowly grown on me now and don't bother me as much.

Overall I really like the new X3 even though I was expecting more initially with the design change. The design is very nice, but seems a bit conservative, was expecting an even more drastic change, but still very nice design indeed and big improvement over the outgoing X3.

My 2 dislikes are 1 the headlights, I wish they'd flow back better with the lines of the vehicle, and 2 the way the dashboard connects with the speedometer/tach hood. It looks like 2 pieces jammed together instead of one continuous flow like in the X5 and even the X1. But that's really no big deal as the interior overall is very nice and good quality.

... and I guess I wouldn't mind dual pipes in the back too like the X5... since everything else is symmetric so it seems a bit out of place visually, but again no big deal to me really.

Overall, I'm impressed and can't wait to test drive one in December.
